Laurens Legiers
Biography
Laurens Legiers (b.1994) received his education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in 2018 and now lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. He draws on the images from Romanticism and the atmosphere they encapsulate, reinventing some of the signature tropes and creating his own library of tributes to the everyday snapshots of beauty and harmony. Working with imagery that connects with a certain romantic idea on a contextual level, while carrying a clean and notable sense of volume to it, Legiers uses his subjects to construct captivating and perplexing visuals. With a focus on the motif as a whole, rather than on details and separate features, the visuals appear soft, almost graphic, and are the perfect base for the light and shadow play he performs on the surface of his paintings. The quietness and pleasantness of the symmetric compositions that constitute the pristine scenes are further pushing his oeuvre towards the surreal idyll. His solo exhibitions include: Dusk till Dawn, PLUS-ONE Gallery, Antwerp, 2022; A Veil of Thoughts, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2021; and Soft Thoughts, PLUS-ONE Gallery, Antwerp, 2020. He participated in group exhibitions at: Nicodim Gallery, New York, 2021; Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles, 2021; PLUS-ONE Gallery, Antwerp, 2021; The Hole, New York, 2021; Ramp Gallery, London, 2020; WOAW Gallery, Hong Kong, 2020; KOP VZW, Antwerp, 2019; Alpha Gallery, Antwerp, 2019; and Souterrain, Antwerp, 2018.
